Show Notes

Today, in preparation of & to understand the significance of the vast array of new features and developments coming to lightning, we cover a full overview of the What, Why, & How of the Lightning Network.

What exactly is it, why do we need it, and how exactly does it work? A huge thank you to Aaron Van Wirdum, Pierre Rochard, and Rusty Russell for making this understandable for me, we dive into a high level approach to understanding what’s happening in lightning.  In addition, despite forgetting to mention them in the podcast, a shout out to Christian Decker, Andreas Antonopoulos & Bryan Vu who have also produced great great content that helped in my understanding of lightning as well.
